Explanation

To boot from a CD at startup, a technician must change the Boot Sequence (also called Boot Order) in the BIOS/UEFI. This setting determines the priority order of devices the system attempts to boot from (e.g., CD/DVD drive, hard disk, USB). Setting the optical drive first in the sequence allows the system to load from the CD. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a security chip used for encryption and secure boot features, not boot device selection. BIOS password is a security feature to restrict BIOS access. Neither TPM option is relevant to boot device selection.
